Two problems related to tire have been reported for the 1998 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Complete separation of tread from tire. Tire remained inflated and I was able to pull safely to the side of the road. (tiresize: p205/65r15).
On 6-28-01 I was on I-75 going north. My tire unraveled on me. My husband and a state trooper put on a spare. My husband had my tires rotated 2 months before. I have had 3 flats and tire replacements on my car. I called Ford motor customer relations. Nick (800-392-3673) told me Ford has nothing to do with general tires. He transferred me to general tires (800-847-3349). Eileen at general took the complaint and gave me a file #38421. I agreed to go to belle tire to have the tire inspected. Eileen called belle tire. I took the tire to belle tire on 7-2-01. Darrell at belle tire (313-271-9400) called general tire. Jill at general told him a file should not have ever been made on my complaint and I should just take the tire back to where I got it. She was very abrupt and rude. I left.
